Leap Day Lament

Why can't I have my extra day in a less windy month? Can I just be off by a dayuntil the sun gives more warmth?When I'm shed of my hat, coat and gloveBasking in Spring's sunshiney glow?Instead I'll be bundled from my head to my toes.People laughing at my nose's red glow.

My father's father whom was born in 1880 would have turned 32 today, he was 7.3 when my dad was born and 16.2 when I was bornYour birth date is almost as bad as my sister-in-laws Dec,26, then young Toms is a week before Christmas, you guys get cheated out of big birthday celebrations due to being so close to Christmas.Tom
